Mice!!!!!!!!

[JHayek]

Cats are pretty useless but snakes sleep all winter

Traps...Traps...and more Traps + some poison thrown in for good measure...oh yeah...some glue traps too.

Hate snakes, but they do good too, except when they get into the car and come out when your driving down the road...

I know this is a really old thread but this is still on topic for mice.  If you could attract a few weasels or turn loose a ferret or 2 mice would be gone shortly and stay gone.

i had a real problem with mice when I ran a kennel. I couldn't use poison, because if a poisoned mouse was caught by a dog, it could be deadly. Snap traps worked pretty well. Electric traps worked even better, and were necessary when a couple of rats moved in!!

I hate glue traps. There are inhumane. 

When the mice moved into the house, I caught 12 mice in one month. Then I got a cat. The only mice I saw after that were dangling from his jaws... 

But yes, ALL food must be secured in rodent-proof bins!

Here are some before and after pictures of a suede seat I restored after being worn smooth and chewed by a mouse.  Sand paper and soft brass brush and kiwi suede cleaner cleaned it up nicely.

That was an excellent restoration job, well done. Did you patch the hole up and sand it in to look the same??

Yes, I patched it with "Magic Mender".  It is the stuff they use to patch upholstery that has a tear in a car seat.  Then I put adhesive on and sanded the suede with a dremel to make leather dust.  It worked well but I told the customer the suede would probably rub off.  Haven't heard anything bad about it from them.  So, I'm assuming it is all good!
